Godfrey, cheater! Everything that is stated in the annotation of the film is absolutely false. As I tuned in to watch it, I was hoping to see this miracle — the birth of the animal kingdom on Earth. And in fact, it turned out to be a normal animal life, which we imagined without this, so to speak, "director." In addition, during the film, I did not leave the feeling that some of the pictures from it I had seen before. Hence, there is some distrust of Godfrey Reggio - is he really a director, or just someone who collects material from different sources at home and puts music on it? I don’t have to say good things about her, music, either. Are these the best classics we have been promised? To put it bluntly, this is a brazen lie.
Reggio, after the success with Koyaaniscatsi, continues to fall to the bottom. The “soul of the world” is pure cheating. Beautiful wrapper, with a void inside. No, animals are charming, of course. But the work on the film itself does not deserve praise. It can only be watched and admired by Godfrey fans, whom he hypnotized with his first work. But I hope they will soon open their eyes and see his real "director's face."
